<H2>Wrapping C Constants</H2>

<p>
When SWIG encounters C preprocessor macros and C declarations that look like constants,
it creates Ruby constants with an identical value. Click <a href="example.i">here</a>
to see a SWIG interface with some constant declarations in it.
<h2>Accessing Constants from Ruby</h2>
Click <a href="run.rb">here</a> to see a script that prints out the values
of the constants contained in the above file.
<h2>Key points</h2>
<ul>
<li>The values of preprocessor macros are converted into Ruby constants.
<li>Types are inferred by syntax (e.g., "3" is an integer and "3.5" is a float).
<li>Character constants such as 'x' are converted into Ruby strings.
<li>C string literals such as "Hello World" are converted into Ruby strings.
<li>Macros that are not fully defined are simply ignored. For example:
<blockquote>
<pre>
#define EXTERN extern
</pre>
</blockquote>
is ignored because SWIG has no idea what type of variable this would be.
<p>
<li>Expressions are allowed provided that all of their components are defined. Otherwise, the constant is ignored.
<li>Certain C declarations involving 'const' are also turned into Ruby constants.
<li>Constants that begin with lower case character are automatically capitalized.
For example:
<blockquote>
<pre>
const int iconst = 37;
</pre>
</blockquote>
is capitalized as <tt>Example::Iconst</tt> because Ruby constants name must begin
with upper case character.
<li>The constants that appear in a SWIG interface file do not have to appear in any sort
of matching C source file since the creation of a constant does not require linkage
to a stored value (i.e., a value held in a C global variable or memory location).

<p>
The following examples illustrate the use of SWIG with Ruby.
<ul>
<li><a href="simple/index.html">simple</a>. A minimal example showing how SWIG can
be used to wrap a C function, a global variable, and a constant.
<li><a href="constants/index.html">constants</a>. This shows how preprocessor macros and
certain C declarations are turned into constants.
</ul>
<h2>Compilation Issues</h2>
<ul>
<li>To create a Ruby extension, SWIG is run with the following options:
<blockquote>
<pre>
% swig -ruby interface.i
</pre>
</blockquote>
<li>The compilation of examples is done using the file <tt>Example/Makefile</tt>. This
makefile performs a manual module compilation which is platform specific. Typically,
the steps look like this (Linux):
<blockquote>
<pre>
% swig -ruby interface.i
% gcc -fpic -c interface_wrap.c -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.4/i686-linux
% gcc -shared interface_wrap.o $(OBJS) -o interface.so
% ruby
require 'interface'
Interface.blah(...)
...
</pre>
</blockquote>
<li>The politically "correct" way to compile a Ruby extension is to follow the steps
described <tt>README.EXT</tt> in Ruby distribution:
<p>
<ol>
<li>Create a file called <tt>extconf.rb</tt> that looks like the following:
<blockquote>
<pre>
require 'mkmf'
create_makefile('interface')
</pre>
</blockquote>
<li>Type the following to build the extension:
<blockquote>
<pre>
% ruby extconf.rb
% make
</pre>
</blockquote>
</ol>
</ul>
<h2>Compatibility</h2>
The examples have been extensively tested on the following platforms:
<ul>
<li>Linux
</ul>

<p>
This example illustrates how you can hook Ruby to a very simple C program containing
a function and a global variable.
<h2>The C Code</h2>
Suppose you have the following C code:
<blockquote>
<pre>
/* File : example.c */
/* A global variable */
double Foo = 3.0;
/* Compute the greatest common divisor of positive integers */
int gcd(int x, int y) {
int g;
g = y;
while (x > 0) {
g = x;
x = y % x;
y = g;
}
return g;
}
</pre>
</blockquote>
<h2>The SWIG interface</h2>
Here is a simple SWIG interface file:
<blockquote>
<pre>
/* File: example.i */
%module example
extern int gcd(int x, int y);
extern double Foo;
</pre>
</blockquote>
<h2>Compilation</h2>
<ol>
<li><tt>swig -ruby <a href="example.i">example.i</a></tt>
<p>
<li>Compile <tt><a href="example_wrap.c">example_wrap.c</a></tt> and <tt><a href="example.c">example.c</a></tt>
to create the extension <tt>example.so</tt>.
</ol>
<h2>Using the extension</h2>
Click <a href="run.rb">here</a> to see a script that calls our C functions from Ruby.
<h2>Key points</h2>
<ul>
<li>Use the <tt>require</tt> function to load your extension library from Ruby. For example:
<blockquote>
<pre>
require 'example'
</pre>
</blockquote>
<li>C functions work just like Ruby functions. For example:
<blockquote>
<pre>
g = Example.gcd(42,105)
</pre>
</blockquote>
<li>C global variables are accessed through module method. For example:
<blockquote>
<pre>
a = Example.Foo
</pre>
</blockquote>
</ul>
